Threefold Office

Part Two

The Priestly Task of Prayerful Presence

What is the priestly task of the pastor?

In the Heidelberg Catechism from the Protestant Reformation, Christians learned to proclaim their faith using threefold language:

“Because by faith I am a member of Christ, and thus a partaker of His anointing, in order that I also may confess his Name (the prophetic role), may present myself a living sacrifice (the priestly role) and fight against sin and the devil in this life, and in eternity rule with Him (the kingly role).”

In this fourth video, Nikolas continues unpacking the threefold office of Jesus (Prophet, Priest & King) as a pattern for our own pastoral ministry as we follow him.

    Pastors lead in this area of ministry thus; after ministering reconcilliation and loving precence to others, they continue through the threefold office of Jesus, as Prophet, Priest and King. Each has positive impact in the lives of believers. This also serve as a pattern for our own Pastoral ministry as we follow Jesus.

    the Pastor lead us in this area of ministry by following the example of Jesus in our lives. Leading lost soul to Christ and with a loving presence of the Holy Spirit. And we need need to teach the threefold office of our Lord Jesus Christ. Who Jesus is- Prophet,Priest and king.

    We are commanded to proclaim the word of God, call for repentance and discipleship.
